On: The architecture of the internet creates risks for democracy

Isn’t the title inappropriate then? Shouldn’t it include “social media”?

I think the implication is that the architecture of the internet inevitably leads to social media companies driving for maximum engagement.

It’s definitely not explicitly stated though.

On: Film students who can no longer sit through films

[BackacheDescent]

Please. And would you suggest any lists/forums which you found good?

Please see my reply to JKCalhoun. As for lists, I used other people's lists on Mubi a lot back when I used to watch/torrent 1 film per day (from 2008 to 2015), and for good forums there's Karagarga, rateyourmusic, letterboxd is OK, rutorrent is OK if you can read Russian, and there used to be an arthouse IRC channel on rizon back in the days but it's dead now. I stopped watching films religiously around 2015-2016, so I don't know where the cool kids hang anymore. Maybe Discord?

Here's an example of a Mubi list (not my list and not my account): https://mubi.com/en/lists/vintage-japanese-horror
